Working Mom
From Michal in St. George
I work full time, so when I come home I want to cuddle with my 1½-year-old little girl. She, on the other hand, does not. She has temper tantrums and it seems like she’s punishing me for not being with her during the day. What can I do to make it easier for her to accept that although Mommy has to work, I do love her?
